Sustainable rainfed herbaceous cropping systems. Operation 10.1.4

This "Agro-Environment and Climate" Training Day is part of the actions aimed at ensuring proper compliance with the agro-environmental commitments acquired in some of the operations included in Measure 10 of the Andalusian Rural Development Program (PDRA).

Effect of Black Mesh Mulching on Clementina de Nules Under Salinity Conditions. Almería, 2015-2016 Crop Season

This study aims to study the effect of mesh mulching under these growing conditions. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of black mesh mulching and two water regimes (100% ETc and 66.6% ETc) on the Clementina de Nules variety under saline irrigation water (low-quality, high-conductivity water) and plot soil conditions in the province of Almería.

Effectiveness of Different Chemical Soil Disinfestation Techniques in Strawberry Cultivation. 2017-18 Crop Season

This paper presents the results of agronomic evaluation and the effectiveness of important combinations of chemically derived active ingredients and novel application techniques in controlling fungal pathogens and nematodes.

Effect of Electrical Conductivity of Irrigation Water and Carbon Fertilization on the Conservation of Raf Tomato

This document presents the results of a study that evaluates the effect of the electrical conductivity (EC) of the nutrient solution and carbon dioxide fertilization through the addition of CO2 to the greenhouse on the quality and shelf life of Raf tomato (cv. Delizia).

Traditional Irrigation Systems in Andalusia: Definition, Characterization, Values and Problems

This document defines historical or traditional irrigation systems, characterizes them, lists their values, and addresses their current problems. Traditional irrigation systems, in addition to providing productive value that generates economic growth and employment, provide significant ecosystem services and are of special social, heritage, landscape, and historical importance.

Recirculating Soilless Cucumber Cultivation in Almería

This paper evaluates the water and fertilizer use efficiency of a recirculating system that reused the entire leachate solution in a cucumber crop grown on a perlite substrate during two growing cycles with different seasonalities: spring and autumn-winter.

Evaluation of the Agronomic Performance of Clementina de Nules on Different Rootstocks Under Salinity Conditions. Almería, 2015-2016 Crop Season

This paper aims to evaluate the agronomic performance of three conventional rootstocks and three new hybrids (substandard and semi-dwarf) under irrigation water salinity conditions (low-quality water with high electrical conductivity) in the province of Almería, in order to obtain consistent information that will allow for the optimization of the agronomic management of the plantations and thus

Strawberry Variety Evaluation. Results Obtained in Conventional Cultivation with Biosolarized Soil. 2016/2017 Crop Season

This document presents the results obtained at the 'El Cebollar' Experimental Farm during the agronomic evaluation of twelve strawberry varieties using conventional cultivation techniques, with the exception of the use of biosolarization for soil disinfection prior to planting.

Recommendations for Cheese Making by Acid or Mineral Destabilization

Mató cheese is a type of cheese that can be obtained through different production techniques: by mineral destabilization (calcium chloride) or acidic (lemon juice or vinegar), or by coagulating the milk with plant-based enzymes, such as the flower of the wild cardoon (Cynara cardunculus). It is obtained by draining the whey, gently pressing (self-pressing) and periodically turning.

Comparative economic study of olive grove soil management with and without agro-environmental aid

The Andalusian Rural Development Program 2014-2020 has included Measure 10 "Agri-Environment and Climate" and a series of submeasures; specifically, Submeasure 10.1.

Characteristics of the grass Brachypodium distachyon as a groundcover

This document contains all the existing information and the results of field trials on the use of the grass Brachypodium distachyon as a groundcover, including its main characteristics, development, adaptation to the environment, pests and diseases, and its effectiveness against erosion.

Sustainable woody cropping systems. Almond cultivation. Operation 10.1.6

This document is addressed to those almond farm owners who are beneficiaries of aid under the Agri-Environment and Climate measure, with the aim of informing them of the mandatory requirements to be met, as well as arguing the reasons for this aid and the purpose it seeks to achieve, in order to understand the commitments required.

Characteristics of Sinapis alba subsp. Mairei as plant cover and for biofumigation

This document is a summary of all the information currently available on the use of Sinapis alba subsp. mairei as a groundcover: description and characteristics of the species, implementation and management techniques for this type of groundcover, adaptation to the environment, and use in biofumigation.

Soil management techniques in olive groves and their environmental function: expert opinion

Olive groves perform an environmental function that can be altered by the cultivation techniques used. Among these, the type of management employed to control weed vegetation can significantly influence the performance of this function and, therefore, the provision of environmental public goods.

Growing Guides: Legume Series. Common Vetch

The objective of this publication is to provide useful information to technicians and farmers, seeking to contribute to the improvement and sustainability of their farms, through an action plan that facilitates the implementation and management of common vetch cultivation under different production systems.

Use of electromagnetic induction sensors in agriculture

The document provides an introduction to the technique of electromagnetic induction for measuring the apparent electrical conductivity of soil at different spatial scales and demonstrates its usefulness for various practical applications in agriculture.

Growing Guides Legume Series: Sainfoin

The document is a Sainfoin Cultivation Guide.

Estimation of Leaf Area Using a Non-Destructive Direct Method in Vines

Document describing the development of a direct, non-destructive method for determining the leaf area of a vineyard. This method can be used by winegrowers in the Montilla-Moriles region as a reference method for calculating the vegetative growth indices of their vineyards.

Implementation and management of a slow-growing groundcover by strip planting: Brachypodium distachyon

Description of the technique for implementing a slow-growing groundcover in an olive grove. Slow-growing annual species used as multi-year groundcover can be more easily planted by sowing them in narrow strips, protected on both sides by strips of faster-growing species, thus achieving better soil protection and less erosion during the first few months.

Application of solarization and biofumigation techniques in strawberry crops

Given the critical legal situation regarding chemically derived active ingredients primarily used as soil disinfectants for strawberries, it is necessary to continue working on developing physical/biological disinfestation techniques (such as biosolarization/biofumigation) that will provide farmers with potential tools for this aspect of the crop, in the event of a ban or restriction on the use
